Jeremy Cluff writes: "Both the Jayhawks and the Wildcats
are a disappointing 0-2 in conference play. We have to give the edge to the home team in this rivalry matchup. Avery Johnson and Kansas State will bounce back from their loss to Houston to win their first Big 12 game of the season."

Bill Speros writes: "College Football's least inspiring rivalry name - The Sunflower Showdown - models with K-State winning by 14.8 points. That's significant value against the 9.5-point number. But not so fast, my friend. Not even 'Superior Intelligence' can measure the intensity that both teams bring to these sorts of games. Its antithetical moniker notwithstanding. The Jayhawks can score — they put up 24, and Isaiah Marshall threw for 333 yards in their loss to Utah. K-State's defense offers opportunity. Big plays from KU keep this one under the number. And we may be sniffing an upset."
